Breakfast of Champions: Cookie Oatmeal
A Triumphant(?) Return to Writing, Part 1
It's been so long since I've written anything just for fun, that it feels a little bit weird to even be trying right now. I wish I could pinpoint what happened to make this all seem more like a chore than something I actually enjoy doing so I could avoid it in the future, but... Continue Reading →
Five Weeks in 1500 Words
Please forgive my atrocious lack of posting lately. When you "write" for a living, it makes it harder to also still want to write for fun when you get home. That's the excuse I'm going with, anyway. (I recognize that it's actually a terrible excuse, but the alternative is to be totally honest with myself and... Continue Reading →

So I started to keep a little food journal (which really does work surprisingly well, and also helped me... Continue Reading →
For Nana/January Recap
My grandmother politely informed me yesterday that it had been a while since my last post. (My apologies to anyone else out there who cares as much as Nana does.) So this post is mostly for her, and partly to convince myself that even though I felt pretty lazy most of the month, I really... Continue Reading →
A Tale of Two Donuts
For Thanksgiving this year, Nana decided that everybody had to make a dessert. It was one of the best ideas she's ever had, and it gave me a chance to try a new recipe I had come across on the Twitter. Since everyone else would surely make pies and cakes of various sorts, I decided... Continue Reading →
5 Gifts for the Outdoor Wild Card Stolen from my company's corporate blog. Except I still wrote it...so it's not really stealing, right? And ok, it may not be the most useful gift guide, but it's up there on the list.
